梦女孩

太多痛苦和冲突
There’s too much pain and strife
何不收拾包袱 然后就走
So why don’t you pack it up and move it?
带走猫 背包 一堆堆杂乱
Take the cat, kit and caboodle
带走你的废车
Take your broken-down car
你难闻的雪茄
Your smelly cigar
就那样走出
And just move right out of my
走出我的人生
Move right out of my life
来 来吧 再热情点
Come on! Come on! You can do better!

为什么
Why?
因为我很累 明天又要早起上班
Because I’m tired and I got to get up early for work.
我是说 那有什么意思
I mean, what’s the point?
罗慧 我们第一次组团唱歌♥ 你几岁了

在你记事册上写了多少乐曲
How many songs written there in your notebook?
不知道 许有一百首了
I don’t know. Maybe a hundred.
还有 艾菲 你曾遇到 比你唱得更狂放的人吗
And, Effie, have you ever met anyone who could sing as crazy as you?
没有
No.
有这样条件 我们还是藉藉无闻
And still we get nowhere?
所以我才说 一切有什么意义
So I’m asking you, what’s the point?
意义在于你们不用参加 这些业余比赛
The point is you don’t need an amateur contest,
因为你们不是业余乐团
because there’s nothing amateur about you.
你需要的只是一个机会 我就来给你这个机会
What you need is a break, and I’m here to give it to you.
